Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Gap Analysis Program (GAP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G11AS20033; CFDA 15.811) supports science and technology research and development projects that are carried out in partnership with USGS GAP. GAP is a long-running national program that has built and maintained collaborative project partnerships across the United States for nearly two decades, and this funding is intended to continue that partnership-driven approach rather than fund stand-alone work done independently of the program.
The purpose of the opportunity is to fund projects that align with GAPs statutory authorities and its current program goals. Applicants are expected to propose work that fits within the legal mandates under which GAP operates, including the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 USC 661), the Land and Remote Sensing Policy Act of 1992 (15 USC 5657a(2)), and the Organic Act of the U.S. Geological Survey (43 USC 36d). In practical terms, that means proposals need to clearly connect their objectives, methods, and deliverables to GAPs mission and to the specific annual objectives and priorities listed in the announcement and its addenda, with particular attention to the annual needs described in Addendum I.
Funding can be provided through either grants or cooperative agreements, which signals that USGS may anticipate a more active role in many projects than a typical grant would involve. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000 and an expectation of approximately nine awards. No cost sharing or matching is required. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor as $0, which usually indicates that individual award sizes are not fixed in the synopsis and are instead determined by the scope of proposals, available funds, and the priorities laid out in the full announcement materials.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to many types of applicants, including states and local governments and other potential recipients, as long as they meet any eligibility clarifications included in the full text. However, the announcement emphasizes that applicability may be limited by the specific annual needs in Addendum I, so prospective applicants would need to verify that their proposed work matches what GAP is seeking in that funding cycle before investing heavily in proposal development.
Key administrative details include the posting date of June 13, 2011, with the closing date updated to August 5, 2011 (originally July 15, 2011). The opportunity was archived on September 30, 2011. The full announcement and requirements were available through Grants.gov, and the point of contact listed for assistance accessing the complete announcement was Faith Graves at 703-648-7356 or fgraves@usgs.gov.
